When transitioning your pet to a new food, we recommend a gradual introduction of the new formula over a 7 day period. For pets with sensitivities, extend the transition period to 10 to 14 days. Start by adding a small amount of your pet’s new food to his or her current food. Gradually, increase the new food amount and decrease the current food amount at each feeding until you are feeding only the new food.

About Diamond Naturals Dry Dog Food and Treats

Uncompromising Holistic Nutrition

Diamond Naturals dog food provides high-quality holistic formulas designed to meet every pet's needs. These nutritious recipes are enhanced with proprietary probiotics for good digestion and immune system support, and superfoods are added to supply nutrients that keep animals strong and healthy.

Superfoods That Deliver

They didn't just add a few superfoods here and there in Diamond Naturals. You'll find 10-20% superfoods in all Diamond Naturals dry foods, made up of tasty ingredients like kale, blueberries, chia seeds, pumpkin, quinoa, coconut and spinach.

Balanced Digestive Support

Foods with added probiotics allow more nutrients to be absorbed and used by your dog's body, and that leads to better digestion and overall health. Diamond Naturals foods are enhanced with patented and powerful K9 Strain probiotics. Prebiotic fiber from chicory root plus soluble and insoluble fibers from pumpkin, coconut and dried kelp give extra digestive support.

Really Delicious Real Proteins

Made with real beef, lamb or chicken, Diamond Naturals dog food satisfies carnivorous cravings meal after meal. These nutritious animal proteins have the essential amino acids your dog needs to keep running, playing, jumping and staying fit. High-quality proteins like these are the building blocks of healthy muscles and strong bones.

Options for Sensitive Pets

All of Diamond Naturals' recipes exclude corn, wheat and soy, common fillers that are used in pet foods. If your dog is sensitive to this trio of ingredients, there's no need to worry when feeding Diamond Naturals. And for pups that have problems digesting grains, Diamond Naturals Grain-Free dog kibble is a great option for limiting exposure to these ingredients.

Don't Forget the Treats

When you want to reward your pup with a tasty treat, give him a Diamond Naturals biscuit. These crunchy bite-size snacks feature real lamb, chicken, beef or peanut butter plus whole flaxseed, rolled oats, turmeric and brown rice. They're all free of corn, wheat and soy, and they come in Large Breed with added glucosamine and Puppy biscuits that are smaller for tiny mouths.

My dogs had GI issues on this

By Lisa
on Jul 22, 2018

I bought two 40lb bags of this food. After a slow switch, two of my three dogs were having GI trouble with this food. One had diarrhea, put her on a bland diet more than once, and after we got back to half kibble, diarrhea again. Back to what I fed before, and all is well again. Another of my dogs didn't have complete diarrhea, but soft stools fort the duration of the time I fed this. The last one, a toy breed, did fine on it. My dogs are very active so thought I'd give it a shot, but I am much happier with the food I normally buy- better digestion, far less stool, and roughly the same feeding amounts.

Very active Belgian Malinois

We have a Belgian Malinois that will be 3 in October and she is super active. To the point that she paces if she's not been let run enough that day. And while she is in her appropriate weight range, she just didn't LOOK it. I was always worried about her keeping weight on.
So far, this food seems to be helping. She doesn't act so hungry when she gets fed (2 times a day) and her sides don't appear to be as thin.
As long as Chewy continues to carry this food, we will continue to buy it for her.

Helped put weight on

My boy pitbull mix has a hard time keeping weight on. He was up to 8 cups of his regular food, two eggs a day, plus tons of treats and he was still losing weight. Vet wanted him on a higher fat and protein food. I found this and saw it had good reviews, decided to give it a go.
He's now been eating it for a while and he is down to 3-4 cups a food a day and is back to a healthy weight. And its muscle weight, not just fat. This food did exactly what I needed it to do.
At first the price was a bit of sticker shock for me, but now that my boy is eating less a day, it's worth every penny.

Active dog loves this

My Rhodesian/Boxer mix has such a high metabolism and such a lean body type she has trouble keeping weight on. She’s a very lean and muscular dog, and also has a very sensitive stomach. She does absolutely amazing on this food and has achieved a perfect weight for her, without having diarrhea or itching in the process!

Won’t eat it !

I just switched to this food because my GSD is very thin and I can’t put weight on him (he is 18 months old) He won’t eat this food even when i put beef broth on it.
I do love the Chewy company though, prompt service,good prices and a great variety of goods

Dogs like this kibble and they are thriving

By Patsy

I feed this to my 4 Chihuahuas and they are healthy and happy. I went with this higher protein food to see if it would help relieve the yeast imbalance they were all suffering from. It worked and no more stinky little pups! The "Frito" odor is gone and the constant licking has subsided. It has corrected their gastric gut flora to stop the yeast problem and an added bonus...no odor at al to their feces! We are thrilled.

Picky Dog isn't sure

By Krisit
on Jun 15, 2018

I have a picky pup, who just doesn't like dog food. I like that because this food is higher in calories he doesn't have to eat so much, but he still doesn't seem to like it. I'm confident this food is good for him and he does seem to like it better than his old food, hence 4 stars.

Great food for those hard keepers

I have two GSP's who just tend to have a harder time keeping weight on them. They are very active dogs who get lots of exercise daily. We were trying to avoid feeding gobs upon gobs of food...we want what we feed to effective! Both dogs did enjoy the taste of this food and they did have an easier time keeping weight. Unfortunately, their bellies did not totally agree as we did notice an increase in some seriously potent toots! Considering it ticked 2/3 of the big contenders, I do recommend this food for others who are facing similar issues. We have since switched to a different brand sport food and are very happy!

Helped my active dogs keep weight on.

I've used Diamond Naturals for a while and have been happy with the brand and how my older dogs liked it. I decided to try the Extreme athlete formula recently because I have 2- 1 year old dogs that are very active and they just weren't keeping weight on. After switching to this for them they have gained weight and have kept it on while looking conditioned and healthy. They seem to get a burst of energy after they have their meals. My vet said they are looking great and have nice shine to their coats. I'll continue using this as long as they are so active.
